The Mystery of Israel and the Church - The mercy of God in it's purest form. I pray that others will find the gold of Gospel comfort in these three messages that I continue to mine, twenty years after I first heard them.

"Don't get flustered. Hang on to the tape. And like all the other tapes, they'll gather value as we come more deeply into the time. It will become like a rare wine, standing on the shelf, waiting for the time to be opened." A. Katz, 1987(Quoted from this series of messages)

Article: On Witnessing to Jews: Art's invaluable thoughts on sharing the Gospel with his own kinsmen in the flesh.

Art Katz on Psalm 119: Recorded at the 2004 Prophetic School in Ben Israel, these two messages on Psalm 119 (One, Two) are also interspersed with comments from the students and Ben Israel residents. I listened to them shortly after the school and forgot about them until after I had written music to Psalm 119 in 2007 & 2008. These could have been the formative words that inspired that music.

"[Moses] gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord: 'Take this Book of the law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God. There it will remain as a witness against you'".
Deuteronomy 31:26

The Bible is unique in that it rarely hides the flaws of those who grace it's pages. Even the heroes of the faith are shown in their weakness. Isn't it interesting that the Law was going to be kept as a witness against Israel. Surely this was not for humiliation in and of itself, but a humiliation that was intended to drive Israel into the arms of a the only God that can save us from the curses of disobeying His Law.

The theme of the Zion Christian Press website comes from the Song of Moses:
"Theyhavemovedme to jealousy with that which is not God;Theyhave provoked me to anger with their vanities:I willmove them to jealousy with those which are not a people;Iwillprovoke them to anger with a foolish nation."
Deuteronomy 32:21

In this passage of Scripture it is implied that there will be a people who don't have the rich heritage of Israel, but somehow obtain what Israel was chosen and separated from other nations by God to obtain, which was God Himself.

From here there are links to a section for those who are angry about this (click here for the content frame); a section for those who have become jealous for a closer relationship with the living God (click here for the content frame); and there is a section for those who have become His fools, those willing to be despised by the world for the sake of knowing Him (click here for the content frame). There is even a page for those who are indifferent.

Though the names under the different headings are the same they have different content deemed appropriate for the category chosen.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this site. My hope for every person that visits is that they will leave with a greater hunger to know the God who made them. A site map may be found here. An online journal by the author of this site may be found here.
